Happy screams can be heard ringing throughout the village as young Na’vi play in the water by splashing each other or chasing one another, a few of the older ones ride their Ilu’s with each other, racing or some just simply sit on them while having conversations. Neteyam smiles to himself as he sits on the sand with one hand over his very pregnant belly, he sits back enjoying the sun while watching his kids run around playing. Every so often Laka, his youngest sitting at the age of 3, will hand him shells that she finds on the nearby sand, Neteyam smiles and praises his daughter each time he’s handed a new one and gently places it in the bag he had brought with him. He then turns back to watch the rest of his kids and does a head count starting from oldest to youngest, Ateyam (age 15) then the twins Tsi’ak and Ni’u (age 14), after comes Fina (age 12), then the second pair of twins Mawlaw and Nari (age 11), then the triplets, first being Jake then the second triplet Tonowari and the last triplet Reytiri (age 9), after those three come the last pair of twins Layna and Nezaw (age 6) and last but not least Laka (age 3) and with that all of his kids are accounted for.
Neteyam then swears he's going to kill his mate later for putting so many kids in him especially if he ends up giving birth to more than one baby, which he feels like it's going to be more then one with how big he is, hes bigger then he has been with any of the twins. Neteyam prays to Eywa that it's not another round of triplets, he did that once and he wishes to never go through that pain again. Laka then wines to him so he picks up the young Na’vi and holds her close, Laka instantly melts into the touch and purrs which Neteyam replies back with a purr of his own “How the hell have you not killed yourself yet” Neteyam is startled by the sound of Lo’ak sitting down next to him, he gives a tired sigh “Honestly no clue” They both laugh “Bro im dead with just one and you have 11 plus what's coming” Neteyam groans and Laka smacks him in the face, he shoots his daughter a glare which causes both Lo’ak and Laka to laugh. Neteyam then turns to his brother with a confused look “Where is you little skxqwng” Lo’ak snorts “Zayzu is most likely getting me in trouble with his mother” this causes him to roll his eyes at the younger Na’vi “How is Tsireya?” Lo’ak shrugs “Better now that the morning sickness has stopped but she’s still crazy tired” Neteyam gives a displeased hum as he remembers all too well how the poor Na’vi woman feels.
Lo’ak lets out a sigh before getting up “I better go and see how she’s doing” Neteyam shoots him a smirk “Good luck and if you see my mate on the way hit him for me” Lo’ak laughs as he walks away “Will do!” he calls back. Just as his brother disappears he has 10 rowdy kids run up to him and complain they’re hungry, Neteyam sighs “Alright, but you need to find your father” They look at him confused “Why” Ateyam asks. Neteyam lets out a dry laugh “I can’t get up” Ateyam looks at his mother with a raised eyebrow “That’s what you get for sitting on the ground a 9 months pregnant” Neteyam glares at his son before trying to grab him, the young Na’vi quickly doges and sticks his tongue out playfully, Neteyam waves his son off “Go find your father or your both sleeping outside” Ateyam laughs “What he do this time?” Neteyam glares at the child “He got me pregnant, now go get him” Ateyam smirks and runs off to find the other Na’vi .
Ateyam quickly runs off to grab his father who is sitting in a meeting with Tonowari and a neighboring clan discussing alliances, Ateyam runs in the hut and interrupts the meeting causing all the Na’vi to stare at him “This is my oldest grandson, Ateyam” Tonowari gesture to the young boy who greets the other clan leaders “What is so important you had to interrupt the meeting for” His father asks with a glare, Ateyam giggles “You have 11 hungry kids and a mate who can’t get up off the ground, because he thought it was a good idea to sit on the sand at 9 months pregnant. Also if you don't hurry your sleeping outside” The clan leaders laugh while Aonung sighs and smirks “I'm sorry to leave so soon but as you can see i have more pressing matters at hand” Aonung excuses himself and the other leader wave him off with knowing smiles on their faces.
As Aonung reaches his very grumpy mate he's met with a series of “DAD!” and hugs from all his kids, Aonung looks down at his mate with a smile before handing Laka off to Fina who gladly accepts her younger sister. Aonung stands behind his mate and hooks his arms under Neteyam’s and lifts the other Na’vi. Neteyam smacks Aonung in the arm and stomps off, they all quickly follow the angry Na’vi back to their hut. Neteyam sits down on a stool as he cooks food and Aonung sits on the ground next to him and helps “Why are you so angry my love” Neteyam huffs in annoyance but doesn't answer, Aonung quickly puts the wrapped fish on the fire and stands behind his mate. Aonung rubs his hands along the others back working out any knots he finds, Neteyams mood slowly lightens as he relaxes into the touch. Once Aoung can’t find anymore knots he stops and places a kiss on his mates head and looks down at Neteyam’s stomach “I know we always agreed to not check how many, but your very big and i'm curious” Neteyam looks down and nods his head “Yeah me too…..Alright go get my father” Aonung places a kiss on his mates cheek before leaving.
Jake hovers the tablet over Neteyam’s stomach as they wait for it to finish scanning, once it does Jake pulls it away and looks at it, Neytiri comes over and looks over her mate's shoulder. The two study it for a few seconds before turning to each other with wide eyes. Both Neteyam and Aonung look at the too older Na’vi worried “Is everything okay?” Neteyam asks, Neytiri burst out laughing and Jake stares at his son with wide eyes “Well you got your wish, it's not triplets” Neteyam raises an eyebrow “Okayyyyy?'' Jake tries his best not to laugh himself “It’s quads” Neteyam stares in shock “FOUR!” he screams and his father nods while laughing “FOR FUCK SAKES!” Neteyam then turns to his mate and repeatedly hits him while Aonung laughs.
